Chapter 69 Transactions
"Two-sided?" For Borgin Bock's words, Mellen Watts next to him was obviously stunned.
"Yes, both sides! The elder of my family likes to make some alchemy items of twins and give them away. Unlike the Mirror of Eris that you are familiar with, this Mirror of Eris is quite dangerous. Borgin-Bock said softly.
"Like a Boggart?" Nott leaned in with some curiosity. He had also heard Borgin Burke's explanation that the Mirror of Eris under the cover of a white cloth seemed to have a very similar effect to some kind of magical creature.
Noether may not dare to express his opinion on other matters, but when it comes to the knowledge and understanding of magical creatures, no one on the field can compare with him.
"Boggart? That kind of dark magic creature that feeds on human fear? No, no, no! Bogin-Bock shook his head: "Maybe there are similarities between the two, but, believe me, no matter how many Boggarts add up, the danger is not as good as this Mirror of Eris." ”
"Can you elaborate on that? I've always had a great curiosity about these mysterious alchemy items. Tang Bai looked at Bogin-Bock as if he was a little reluctant to say more, and asked.
"This Mirror of Eris, although it is said that the Boggart is used as one of the refining materials when it is made, and like the Boggart, it can clearly show the things that you feel most feared in your heart when you face it, but the two are completely different in that the Boggart is not fatal and addictive. If you are not a strong-willed person, there is a high chance that when you look at this mirror of Eris, it will have a very serious impact on his spirit, and even sudden death. ”
Bogin-Bock glanced at Tang Bai, looked at Tang Bai's flashing eager gaze, couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Tang, you seem to want to buy this Eris Magic Mirror?" ”
"If I could, I'd certainly like to buy it." Tang Bai smiled. The mirror spirit showed an unprecedented eagerness and love for this Eris magic mirror, so Tang Bai didn't mind paying a little price and bought this magic mirror from Bogin Burke for the mirror spirit.
"This is a relic of my family elders, it has been passed down in my hands for a long time, and there have been several distinguished customers who wanted to buy it, but in the end it was not possible." Borgin-Bock said implicitly.
Borgin Burck did not say no outright, obviously for him, the mirror is not an important item that cannot be sold, as for what he said that several dignitaries wanted to buy it, maybe it was a means that Borgin Burck used to raise the price, or maybe his asking price was too high, higher than those people's psychological expectations.
"Raise the price, Mr. Borgin." Tang Bai said very straightforwardly. For Tang Bai, as long as he can gain a firm foothold in Harry Potter and have strong connections that are enough to promote his ideas, others, including Jin Galleon or something, are secondary.
If Bogin Bock is really a rare alchemist who is stingy and greedy for money, but proficient in some kind of alchemy, as Mellen Watts said, Tang Bai is willing to use his interests to tie him tightly to his chariot.
"One hundred thousand gold Galleons!" Bogin-Bock put the wooden box in his hand on the cabinet shelf on the side, opened his hands, and dangled ten straight fingers under Tang Bai's eyes.
"Bogin, you're so greedy! I don't deny the delicacy of the Eris Magic Mirror, but it's not worth the price. Hearing Bogin Bock's offer, Tang Bai hadn't spoken yet, and Mellen Watts on one side couldn't help but grab Baidao.
As Tang Bai's industrial agent in England and the unnamed "big housekeeper", Mellen Watts, who had bought invisibility cloaks, dangerous magical creatures and other items for him, knew what kind of money Tang Bai spent like water when he got into trouble. This is very much in line with the behavior of some wealthy pure-blood nobles, who don't mind paying far more than the value of a certain item for their own liking.
If Borgin Bock asked for less gold gallons, Mellen Watts would be as lazy to open his mouth as before, but Borgin Bock opened his mouth to 100,000 gold gallons, which has almost touched Mellen Watts's bottom line. 100,000 gold gallons is not a small amount, enough for him to buy one or two second- or third-rate brand stores.
What makes Mellen Watts even more have to consider is that unless Don Watt pays out of his own pocket, if he moves forward a few more times, he will still come out of the money that is left to buy the property, 100,000 gold galleons, which is enough to make Mellen Watts feel anxious.
"A hundred thousand gold gallons is impossible." Tang Bai's words made Mellen Watts breathe a sigh of relief.
"And how much can you give?" Bogin Bock also realized that his offer was a bit outrageous, and his tone suddenly softened.
Tang Bai looked at Mellen Watts beside him, and in terms of valuation, anyone present could easily suppress him. Noticing Tang Bai's gaze, Mellen Watts spread his palms towards Bogin Bock, and said in a firm tone: "At most, five thousand gold Galleons, this is already for the sake of the fame of the other Eris Magic Mirror." I can't imagine any other purpose for this mirror than to be harmful. ”
Seeing that Borgin Bock seemed to want to speak, Mellen Watts immediately continued to speak in a hurry: "This Eris Magic Mirror is undoubtedly a dark magic item in terms of function. This kind of item has recently been issued by the Ministry of Magic to prohibit trading and refining, believe me, Bojin, no one except Don would spend such a large sum of money just to buy such a mirror that could be confiscated by the Ministry of Magic at any time. ”
"It's absolutely impossible! At this price, I'd rather keep it as a collection forever. Bogin-Bock blushed and unceremoniously refused.
Tang Bai was also taken aback by Mellen Watts's bargaining, and directly cut one-twentieth of the offer, no wonder Bogin Bock was angry. Although he said that because of the mirror spirit, he was determined to obtain this Eris Magic Mirror in his heart, but he didn't want to be wronged by Bogin Bock, so De Mellen Watts negotiated with him.
After a fierce verbal exchange between the two, they finally agreed on a price of 30,000 gold galleons.
"These are some of the magic currencies I've collected, you can pick and choose." Bogin-Bock, who had completed the transaction, pushed a brown wooden box to Tang Bai's hand with a smile on his face, opened it and signaled.
